Can Playing a Game Improve Children's Speech Recognition? A Preliminary Study of Implicit Talker Familiarity Effects
CONCLUSIONS: Implicit short-term exposure to a talker has the potential to improve children's speech recognition. Therefore, leveraging talker familiarity through gameplay shows promise as a viable method for improving children's speech-in-noise recognition. However, given that improvements did not generalize to unfamiliarized words, careful consideration of exposure stimuli is necessary to optimize this approach.PMID:38056473 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00156 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Comparing Direct-to-Consumer Devices to Hearing Aids: Amplification Accuracy for Three Types of Hearing Loss
CONCLUSIONS: DTCDs were unable to meet prescriptive targets for severe types of hearing loss but could meet them for mild hearing loss. This study provides an examination of current hearing devices. More research is needed to determine whether meeting prescriptive targets provides any benefit in the outcomes and performance with DTCD devices.PMID:38052055 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-22-00170 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential Testing in Children With Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder
CONCLUSIONS: The CAEP protocol used in our ANSD program did inform about the presence or absence of central auditory stimulation. Absent responses typically fit into an overall picture of complete auditory deprivation and all of these children were ultimately offered cochlear implants after failing to develop oral language. Present responses, on the other hand, were acknowledged as a sign of some degree of auditory stimulation but always interpreted with caution given that prognostic implications remain unclear.PMID:38048283 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00051 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Clinical Observations in Patients With Cystic Fibrosis-Related Diabetes and Self-Reported Ototoxicity Symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with CFRD have greater ototoxicity-related symptoms. Further investigation of the relationship between CF-related comorbidities and the risk of developing ototoxicity-related symptoms is warranted to improve the detection and management of ototoxicity in PwCF.PMID:38016170 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-22-00237 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)

Do Flights Affect Hearing in Hot Air Balloon Pilots?
CONCLUSION: In HAB pilots, in whom eustachian tube dysfunction is quite common, noise and high altitude affected hearing, especially low and high frequencies, and the duration of experience was found to be associated with hearing thresholds.PMID:37992408 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJA-23-00126 (Source: American Journal of Audiology)
